A local man is organizing a peace society, the idea being "Peace at any price, even if we have to tight for it.” Just a little chilly for June, but it is likely that lor every cool day now, you will have a warm one next au- ' tumn, so why grumble? The merchant who does not advertise because the weather is off a little, will if he waits for bright days, find that the other fellow got the business while he was growling about Hie rainy and cloudy season. Get busy and you will get yours. Do it now. The ?ress of the country is again backing the president and from every nook and corner of this greatest country of them all. comes the assurance that whatever the note now on its way across the Atlantic cable may contain, the president will have the co-operation of every citizen of the United States. There is one assumption that Mr. Bryan makes that, in our opinion, must be disallowed. It is that he is in some special sense the friend of peace. Yet he is no stronger for peace than the president is. Mr. Ta't, who has most patriotically supported the administration, is known all over the world as a peace man. More than that, the American people are lovers of peace. The question now is not one of peace or war, but of doing what w'e can to make Germany see that her recent warfare on unarmed ships and on neutrals may lead to war. The effort is and has been to insure peace by bringing her to a better state of mind. —Indianapolis News. Comments as to whether or not Mr Bryan did right to resign as secretary of state are being made on every hand and there are as many different opinions as there are sides to the questions. We cannot help believing that this great man who has so often proven his ability to fight and his courage and strength under any strain should have remained at the helm and assisted President Wilson in his great battle for this nation. We do net feel that he lias gained in prestige by climbing over the side of the ship of state during the storm period, and yet as he says, he may be able to better fight outside his office for those principles in which he so earnestly and sincerely believes. However, it would seem that as secretary of state he would have been more powerful than as a preacher of "peace at any price." The government crop report for June indicates that the wheat yield

this year will be a record breaker; and the same thing is true of the oats crop. It is a good thing that this is true, for there will be need of every bushel of it to feed the people of the world. The United Stateswill have a large surplus, and under ordinary conditions the price would be exceedingly low. However, with a foreign demand, owing to the shonage of crops in Russia, Germany and France, the price should be fairly good from the time the first wheat is threshed. The immense crop w> I bring the price of flour down somewhat and will be a help to the consumers in all parts of the Unit 'd States. Producers of will bo well repaid for their efforts through the increased yield per acre. The indications are that the cats crop will also be larger than ever before, and there will be a demand so- that alto as it is used for domestic purposes ;.s well as for feed. It is a grand thing that America is thus to be blessed with abundant crops at a time when foodstuffs will be so urgently need' 1 in other countries. Mexico, if report , are true, will also need considerable . help from outside countries to tide her over until the people there resume their usual occupations.—Columbia City Post. ntttinnjnyuujiuntintt:::::::::::::::;:*;; I DOINGS IN SOCIETY | 3 w i li i ll iii i|| !iiiiii L ir WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.

THE BROCK STORE THE FIRST THING” A GOOD DOCTOR PRESCRIBES A good physic and liver stimulant is usually the first remedy prescribed by the physician when called to a case.
